Having played with the pyro update a bit, I really don't like what the buffs have done to the game. It feels like the game more about pyros and heavies, and less about soldiers and demos. I found soldier and demo teams a lot more interesting to play against, with all the prediction and finesse those classes require.
I like pyros as much as the next guy, but something is wrong when I can regularly score more kills on pyro (which I barely ever play) than soldier (which I play all the time.)
It's likely that I'm just crying bitter emo tears, but I haven't had nearly as much fun playing since the update.
As an engie, the bulk of my gun kills come from my pistol and I could routinely kill Pyros from far away before they reached flame distance.
That is not the case anymore.
I am cool with all the others changes, but they need to nerf the HP bonus.
I agree. I think the leafblower is fine, and the back-crits I'm perfectly okay with. It's the high-HP pyros with no range reduction that cause problems for me.
I'd love to see what people could do with the Leafblower if they didn't have the easy option of the Backburner to fall on. The Leafblower seems like a much more interesting weapon
So what's the story behind the party hats and everyone blowing up in a fun explosion of confetti and presents?
People like party hats.
It's been on the servers for months now. I mean, I haven't played TF2 on the PA servers for like the past 3-4 months, and even at that point they had been there for quite a while.

Pub servers cheer me up so much. 4:1 kill ratio on one game sniping, with 14 kills in one life today. Now I just need to replicate that on a PA server (that's going to take awhile).

Party mode hasn't been on for all that time. It has been on previously, but was only just recently turned back on.

Yeah I'm actually getting a little tired of party mode, but it hasn't been active constantly during that time.
Also, I think Turbine might actually be a worse map than Badlands, but I'm yet to decide...

Getting tired of party mode is a warning sign that it's time to branch out to another game for a while. I can't think of anything more seriz bizness than wanting blood back and confetti gone.
Can we keep the hats at least. I like the hats.

(PSN: Morninglord) (Steam: Morninglord) (WiiU: Morninglord22) I like to record and toss up a lot of random gaming videos here.

Usually the only reason I ever DON'T enjoy sniper is when noone covers me. I'm better at stationary sniping than the flutter-about-stop-flutter-about method a lot of the PA snipers use.

Because the only possible explanation for such a desire must be a thirst for the enemy's blood and not annoyance at hamburgers and cogs in all of our deathcam screenshots.

Neither the whole of truth nor the whole of good is revealed to any single observer, although each observer gains a partial superiority of insight from the peculiar position in which he stands. It is enough to ask of each of us that he should be faithful to his own opportunities and make the most of his own blessings, without presuming to regulate the rest of the vast field.

Normally I don't care, but the other day a sodding balloon ruined a perfectly good deathcam shot.
That's probably one of the reasons I dislike Badlands. Scouts/pyros/everything harrass me no end when I snipe, yet the enemy snipers always seem to be able to stand around capping people at leisure. Dammit scouts go and harrass him the way his buddies harrass me!
Sort of, yes. It tweaks something or other and allows you to lock or unlock acheivements at will.
And does it ban you in the process off of VAC servers?
Dunno, are PA servers VAC? Because I've used this app and nothing has happened yet. The great thing about it is you can just unlock the milestones to get the weapons and still leave the individual achievements locked so you can still get them from regular play.

Doesn't the scope lens reflect whatever is behind you when you are unscoped already?
I think the crossbow scope in half life 2 does this...

I can't wait to BBQ you.
We love you JonXP. We should make a big ass TF2 appreciation card. Someone make a contest thread. Go Go Go!

Best used for soldier melee (AAAAAHHHH *smack* *explode*) or Pyro (SOMEONE'S gonna die here)
Bah, if you want to show some appreciation, send a card to PMavers who runs the least populous server, and doesn't complain in the slightest.

I usually turn it on for the updates and other occasions. It's not on all the time.

Thanks!
we're gonna have some fun, when the clock strikes one
What is this unlocker thing you speak of? Is it hax?
I KISS YOU!
I enjoy sniping when Flippy's on the server, though I am a bit crazy in that I enjoy a good challenge much more than doing well.
The pure satisfaction earned from unlocking it in such a manner is surely reason enough not to farm.

Only when I get raped up the ass by a Pyro that everyone magically ignored while going halfway through our base.
And does it ban you in the process off of VAC servers?

No. However, don't run it if you have any steam apps open. Steam itself needs to be running, but not any games.
